This blog is dedicated to the UNreal events that can happen in Residential Real Estate.  During my 30 years in this business, I think I’ve seen it all when the UN-thinkable happens.  A recent listing of mine, a gorgeous 2 story home, just 11 years old, had been on the market for just over 3 weeks.

An offer comes in and is accepted by the sellers.  The buyers, now excited about being the eventual new owners, come over right away to the home just after the offer is accepted.  Wouldn’t you know it, the UNthinkable happened.  UNfortuntely, for the 30 minutes that the buyers were at the home, a group of scraggly looking people gathered across the street, perhaps meeting to go to a concert, or who knows, but they were acting in a way that this gave this buyer a real negative reaction to this scene.  This is the first time that any group like this had ever gathered across the street that the sellers and neighbors and could ever recall.  The buyers agent thought this might be an episode of Candid Camera or a good practical joke.  It wasn’t…..

Regardless, the buyers couldn’t UNsee what they saw and decided that within 2 hours of being the buyers, to UN-raveled.  Now I think I’ve seen it all… UN-til the next time!
